Help Students Facing Food Insecurity at USFSM

Who We Are

Funded by the USF community, the Support-A-Bull Pantry helps address food insecurity by providing supplemental food and toiletry items to students in need. The confidential pantry was created to alleviate food hardship and hunger among USF students in need — whatever their situation — in order to ensure their academic success. 

Our goal is to ensure that no USF student must choose between paying for textbooks and buying groceries. Located in SMC C144 and accessible through the Student Success Lounge in the main building, students can stop in to pick up necessities Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

What We Do

As the cost of living continues to rise, more members of the USF community are facing food insecurity. The Support-A-Bull Pantry provides access to groceries and essential toiletry items to help those in need stay focused on their academic goals. Your support helps keep the pantry stocked and ensures these resources remain available to those who rely on them.

The Impact

Your financial contribution keeps our shelves filled with nutritious nonperishable foods and other essential items. More importantly, your support helps ease the burden of food insecurity for students, giving them free and dependable access to the items they need to thrive.
